Short-term Care Quality
In addition to earning a great overall grade, this facility excelled in our shot-term care category. In fact, we gave it an A for that category. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more meaningful for patients needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we considered in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category scores, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
